The liquid is easily cooled using various concentrates or antifreezes. Before pouring into the neck located under the hood, we first dilute the concentrate with distilled water, observing the proportions. Indicated on the box. Antifreeze is necessary to prevent corrosion of the cooling system and protect against engine overheating. Over time, when using the system, the main characteristics change and heat transfer deteriorates. For proper cooling, the antifreeze is drained and replaced with new one. We do this procedure closer to winter. But there are still skeptical motorists. Those who consider it inappropriate to drain something and pour something into the coolant tank.
This is fundamentally wrong, and replacing the BMW X5 antifreeze is necessary.
Step 1
Cool the engine to minimum temperature. Antifreeze is a fatty liquid that leaves serious burns on the body when heated.
Step 2
unscrew the iron motor shield and the plastic protection located under the bumper. The required drainage capacity is approximately 12 liters.
Step 3
we turn off the blue radiator cap with key 13.
Step 4
We drain everything that is in the radiator. You will get about 7 liters.
Step 5
then unscrew the plug on the right side of the engine block, which is hidden under the exhaust manifold.
The key used is the same - on 13.
Step 6
The next plug is on the left side of the cylinder block. Unscrew it. There are problems due to the location of the transmission and drive. Therefore, we take the head at 13. There are about 1.5 liters. Carefully drain the water. Don't be surprised that there is less antifreeze. If you unscrew from the left side first, there will be less antifreeze on the right side. Due to the fact that it is freer on the right side, it is more convenient to position the drain tank.
Step 7
we twist all the plugs in the reverse order. Plastic with a small force - about 3 nm.
Step 8
Pour antifreeze into the coolant reservoir. Next to it is a valve for a Phillips screwdriver. At the moment of filling the antifreeze, we turn off - air comes out of the system. Once you release it, screw it back on. Pour liquid up to the mark indicated on the float.
Step 9
We start the car and turn on the stove all the way, and turn the fan on to the first or second position.
Step 10
we warm up to the temperature required for optimal engine operation. And we carefully monitor all pipes and outlets for leaks. If everything is ok, turn off the machine and check the system again for stains.
Then install the protective fasteners in place.
Step 11
After the last protection has been twisted, we check the level of antifreeze in the barrel. If it has decreased, then it must be added to the desired mark.
Step 12
In the morning, before starting the engine, open the tank and look at the level. If antifreeze is low again, add more.
The replacement process is complete. Feel free to hit the road!

For diesel and gasoline engines the parameters will be the same!
When purchasing, you need to know the shade -
color
and
type
of antifreeze allowed for the year of manufacture of your X5 E53.
Choose the manufacturer of your choice. Don't forget - each type of liquid has its own life. for example
For BMW X5 (E53 body) produced in 1999, with any type of engine. Hybrid class antifreeze is suitable. Type G11 with shades of green.
The approximate date of the next replacement is 3 years. If possible, check the selected fluid to ensure it meets the vehicle manufacturer's specifications and service intervals. It is important to know
that each type of liquid has its own color.
There are rare cases when the type is painted a different color. The color of red antifreeze can range from purple to light pink (the principles of green and yellow are the same). It is possible
to mix liquids from different manufacturers if their types correspond to the mixing conditions.
- G11 can be mixed with G11 analogues
- G11 cannot be mixed with G12
- G11 can be mixed G12+
- G11 can be mixed G12++
- G11 can be mixed G13
- G12 can be mixed with G12 analogues
- G12 cannot be mixed with G11
- G12 can be mixed with G12+
- G12 cannot be mixed with G12++
- G12 cannot be mixed with G13
- G12+, G12++ and G13 can be mixed together
- Do not mix antifreeze with antifreeze
(traditionally cooled fluid type TL). Never! - Before completely changing the type, rinse the radiator with plain water
- At the end of its service life, the liquid becomes very discolored or discolored.
- Antifreeze and antifreeze vary greatly in quality
- Antifreeze-traditional trade name type (TL)
old coolant extra
Actually, why was it necessary to change the thermostats: when driving at high speed, the temperature of the internal combustion engine did not rise by more than 72 degrees (test No. 7) they were replaced as USR. So are the main thermostats. After this, the temperature became correct, namely 88-92 degrees when driving at high speed. At the very beginning, the upper thermostat was replaced, but this did not give the desired result! On the plus side, the engine began to run smoother and became even more economical! And now how everything has changed:
Remove the decorative plate.
Remove the gasket, disconnect the hood cable. We remove the electric fan; when removing the fan on the driver's side, you need to fold its lock. Which is inserted into the ear or it will rest against the nozzle. At first you may think that it does not fold.))) Drain the antifreeze from the radiator. Disconnect the thin main radiator hose from the automatic transmission radiator in the lower left corner on the driver's side. You can see it in the photo. There is no plug on the radiator! All antifreeze was drained, including from the engine block, and replaced with a new one. To get to the drain plug from the block, you need to remove the air pipe running from the turbine to the air filter.
The pipe is screwed to the filter with Torx bolts diagonally, just inserted into the turbine. The drain plug block is located next to the turbine. The radiators were thoroughly cleaned from Karcher using cleaner, the kondeya radiator was washed in place without removal. You need to be more careful when washing. The cells are very small, they are easily damaged, and they are also very corroded by reagents, the cells become fragile! At the same time the EGR valve was cleaned and the plan was to remove it along with the swirl flaps and EGR cooler. Install plugs everywhere and flush the system to operate without EGR. To avoid clogging the intake tract with soot and work in clean air! But it's not that long.

Twist of history
Before World War II, the company successfully produced motorcycles, cars and aircraft engines. However, Germany's defeat in the war practically led to the death of the company, depriving it of most of its production capacity. The concern lost the right to produce aircraft engines and full-size cars. The company was almost bought out by the Mercedes-Benz concern, but the Bavarians managed to establish the production of light motorcycles, and later three-wheeled cars. And the transition to the production of prestigious cars began only in the late 1950s. It was at this time that the need to create the first slogan of the brand arose.
How to replace antifreeze on BMW X5? — BMW X5 car
Main page-BMW X5 repair - how to replace antifreeze on a BMW X5?
Replacing antifreeze on a BMW X5 yourself is quite simple. It is important to remember safety precautions and the correct sequence of actions.
Here is the algorithm for working:
- To start replacing antifreeze on a BMW X5, you need to turn off the engine and let the cooler cool to a safe temperature (30-50 s).
- Remove the engine protection, if installed.
- We drain the old antifreeze from three holes: the first is on the radiator, the rest is under the intake manifold. We stock up on a bucket and measure the amount of antifreeze. It should be about 12 liters. If it turns out less, there is a reason to send your X5 to a service for diagnostics.
- We tighten the holes. Gently tighten on the radiator to 3 nm, and on the block to 25 Nm.
- Pour new antifreeze for BMW X5 into the expansion tank and bleed the air. To do this, open the valve in the tank. The float will tell you when there is enough liquid.
- We start the engine, set the heater to maximum, and the purge to 1-2 notches.
- Warm up the engine to operating temperature and watch for spots.
- If antifreeze does not drip anywhere, we turn off the engine. We set up security.
- The next day after all these procedures, we check the antifreeze level in the expansion tank of the BMW X5.
All antifreeze has been replaced.
The appearance of the first slogans
So in 1965 the BMW 2000CS slogan appeared: “Holds the road... Holds records. New BMW." This phrase clearly has a sports component. And this was not just bragging. Possessing a two-carburetor engine with a capacity of 120 horsepower and a stylish design, this coupe became the founder of a new direction in the development of the brand and the ancestor of all subsequent sports coupes of the company.
The trend of creating sports slogans was complemented by the 2002 coupe, which is considered the direct ancestor of the famous third series of the Bavarian, further emphasizing the desire to create powerful cars, which clearly distinguished the company from its competitors.

The appearance of the legendary slogan
The “BMW” slogan, which has become familiar, appeared with the update of the same 2002 model, which to a certain extent was the face of the company. It was in the description of this model in 1975 that the phrase Ultimate driving machine appeared. Soon the short but succinct phrase became the official BMW slogan in English. This is usually translated into Russian as “A machine for driving at the limit.” This formula became the main vector of the company’s development for many decades. It very clearly draws the consumer's attention to the fact that BMW is not just power or comfort. In this slogan, the main meaning is that this car was created specifically for the driver, to enjoy driving a car to the limit. Moreover, this slogan automatically implies both power and speed. It is not surprising that all consumers loved it and it became a symbol of the brand.

Different slogans - common style
However, in addition to the main slogan, the company continued to create slogans for specific models. In the vast majority of cases, they still contain the same reference to sports, but the features of the model are emphasized.
Thus, the slogan of the 1st series of BMW, which states the ideal connection between heaven and earth, emphasizes the elegance of a small but fast car. And, conversely, the slogan of the large and expensive 6 Series coupe is “Heavyweight power. Sprinter speed" - emphasizes the power and impressiveness of the car, while maintaining the overall corporate style.
Neither nail nor rod
Status about a car and speed - if you want to distract yourself and talk about something pleasant.
- Well, you bought your expensive cars, and now what? You won’t even be able to push them on our roads))).
- Speed allows you to forget about a lot. For example, about safety.
- In fact, there are no ordinary potholes on our roads. There are pits in pits, and also pits in pits that are in pits.
- Where do you even get money for cars? Do you sell organs?
- If there's anyone you shouldn't encounter in this life, it's a car with a car :).
If you have a very, very strong desire to get a car, put a status about a car for a girl.
- Guys, remember: if a girl doesn’t ask you for anything, it means she mentally has her eye on your car))).
- Men who invest all their money in cars, how I understand you!
- Why PMS, you know how angry I get when my car breaks down...
- I have never been so neat as the day I forgot my license at home :D.
- I myself noticed: at the time when the alarm goes off, I sleep a hundred times better.
- So, I bought a car. Now we need a friend with whom we would discuss tire fitting and pedestrians))).
In Russian
In Russian, the BMW slogan is “With pleasure behind the wheel.” There is a certain connection with the English phrase, but there is also a certain shift; the slogan sounds much calmer. This can be attributed to several reasons. Firstly, in Russia, very great importance is attached to the status value of a car, and BMWs, for all their sportiness, are primarily status cars for Russians. Secondly, there is a certain shift in the model range. Nowadays, a large percentage of cars sold in Russia are crossovers, which, despite all their dynamism, need a slogan that emphasizes comfort. Hence, the choice of the Russian slogan looks quite logical.
Interestingly, the slogan changed in 2006 in the North American market. "BMW". These changes surprised and outraged many fans. However, since the concern is always at the stage of introducing new technologies, this name seems quite logical. And the growth of robotization of cars may well reduce the pleasure that the driver experiences from the driving process to nothing.
Replacing antifreeze in BMW X5 (E53, E70, F15)
Antifreeze is a special non-freezing process liquid. Designed to cool the car engine during operation at any time of the year. Other features are as follows:
The efficiency of the internal combustion engine and the duration of its operation without repairs directly depend on how promptly the BMW X5 antifreeze (E70, E53, F15) is replaced and the quality of the mixture being poured.
Stop at the M-Center
You can do this work yourself, but to do this you need to know exactly what needs to be filled out, when and how. To get the desired result and not harm your car. Therefore, it is much easier and more reliable to visit our car service center and trust the professionals in their field.
With us you will get the best prices for replacing BMW X5 antifreeze in Moscow. The cost depends on the modification of the car and is:
- 1320 rubles for E53;
- from 1540 rubles for E70;
- from 2200 rubles for F15.
All work, including quality control, takes us from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the modification of the machine. It is unsafe to work with hot antifreeze, so first you need to wait until the system cools down to an acceptable temperature. And after replacement, it is necessary to warm up the engine and bleed the system using diagnostic equipment (for modifications with an electric pump).
Why do you need this?
Periodic replacement of BMW X5 antifreeze is necessary for a number of reasons, in particular if:
- its shelf life established by the manufacturer expires, which is why the concentration of inhibitors in the composition decreases. Which leads to a deterioration in heat transfer and a corresponding decrease in the quality of engine cooling;
- the engine or its cooling system has been repaired.
Low-quality antifreeze (flooded with such an initial or already exhausted resource) can lead to quite serious problems, including:
- internal corrosion in the cooling system;
- increased pump wear due to deterioration of lubrication properties;
- negative oxidative effect on metal parts of the power unit;
- frequent overheating of the engine, which can lead to its complete failure.
Periodicity
The first antifreeze replacement in a BMW X5 E70 (E53, F15) must be completed no later than three years after purchasing the car or its last refueling. However, the interval should be significantly shorter if the quality of the antifreeze has deteriorated significantly, as determined by:
- measurements using a hydrometer or refractometer;
- change in the color of the liquid, the appearance of turbidity in it;
- the appearance of scale, foam, and so on.
That is why at every motor vehicle service center specialists must check the engine cooling system so as not to miss a moment. When its contents need to be completely replaced.
What to fill
The most important condition for the correct replacement of antifreeze in the BMW X5 F15 (E53, E70) is the correct selection of the composition for refilling (varies depending on the modification and year of manufacture of the car). In general, there are several main types of coolants:
- traditional is the well-known ancient antifreeze, which is absolutely not suitable for modern cars;
- hybrid type G-11;
- carboxylate types G-12 and G-12+;
- lobrid types G-12 ++ and G-13.
We use original BMW antifreeze and Pentofrost nf, which is diluted with distilled water to the required concentration. The corresponding freezing temperature is -40 degrees Celsius.
Contact the professionals
From us you can order a prompt replacement of BMW X5 antifreeze at any time in order to forget about this problem for a long time. We use only certified fluids and perform all operations in strict accordance with the requirements and recommendations of the car manufacturer.

1st place: 2014 Audi S5
GREG PAGEAU
Highs: powerful engine, attractive chassis. Minimums: Lumpy seats, style. Which is becoming awfully familiar. Verdict: The Audi remains on the right side of the line between isolation and isolation.
Now in its seventh model year. The S5 casts a harsh light on BMW's dynamic gaps. Where BMW is alienated and isolated. The S5 feels alive and vibrant. There's more sound and more feel in the Audi driver's seat. Than in a BMW seat. Its suspension filters the road surface less. Without being tough.
A heavier brake pedal provides more consistency. Natural feeling. Its steering is quicker to respond. With a degree of feedback. Which is missing in BMW. At all times, the S5 feels like a car. Not a simulation.
Despite the front weight shift. It dives into corners more deftly and feels better balanced than the BMW. Its torque-vectoring rear differential allows for easy vehicle positioning. Turning off the throttle, the nose tucks in even tighter.
But as soon as you clear the gas, the rotation stops. And S5 sits down on its new line. Even with a 225-pound weight handicap (and carrying an extra 281 pounds on its front tires), the Audi beat the 4 Series in every performance test. Launching stronger. Turning sharper and stopping shorter.
Nearing the end of my life. The S5 remains an excellent sports coupe. Its fine detailing and pinstripe finish are very sexy too.. GREG PAGEAU
We never thought we'd see the day when we'd choose BMW's supercharged V-6 inline-six, or all-wheel drive for that matter, over rear-wheel drive, but we never thought we'd see. How dogs talk. And there are millions of such videos on YouTube. The Audi blown six is so responsive. That it sets a microsecond delay. Which you would never otherwise notice in the 435i's engine. And, while the sound develops into an uncivilized groan above 6000 rpm. Below it all is a rottweiler with a blower dash whining. Unlike the 435i, it can't be forgotten. That S5 is a mechanical device. His win at the drag strip is even more impressive. Given the condition of our high mileage test unit. At approximately the same engine speed. At which the sound began to fade. The gear shift lever tightened noticeably. It was as if something was spinning faster. Than it should have been. And in addition to this rotation speed. It took a staggering amount of strength and a little patience. To get the shift. On the track we ended up short gearing at 6000 rpm.
Six years later, the S5's interior still looks great. And Audi keeps it fresh with cool material innovations. Instead of wood or aluminum trim. What about wood and aluminum? aluminum? For $1,100, Audi presses thin strands of aluminum into the ebony for a quick pinstriping finish. This is not only an appearance update, but also a tactile one. The aluminum strips are slightly raised. Creating an impression. That you could strum a few chords. And MMI, Audi's infotainment system. Remains the industry gold standard. No competitor makes it easy to navigate the growing list of electronic systems and features in a modern car. But buy it now. Because the completely redesigned MMI system is ready to start production. From 2021 TT.
On the other side. Audi continues to demonstrate a penchant for doing everything right—from chassis tuning and engines to styling and ergonomics. If the company continues in the same spirit. Conspiracy theorists will speculate. That there is a new source for all these bags of money. Which we use as Ottomans.
